A Rare Experience (in person or online)
The Navajo Code is a unique World War II legacy. It was used in all Pacific battles to transmit top secret and confidential messages. It is the only military code in modern history, never broken by an enemy.
The Navajo Code commissioned by the United State Marine Corps saved hundreds of thousands of lives and helped to shorten the war in the Pacific. "Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima." Major Howard Connor, 5th Marine Division.
Peter's presentation is always enthusiastic, clear and heartfelt. It usually lasts about 45 minutes to an hour and about 15 minutes of Q&A afterward. He combines factual and personal experiences regarding the inception of the code, the use of the code during the war, after the war and current state of the Navajo Code Talkers. Hearing the story from an elder Navajo statesman and patriot, is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
There are only two remaining, as of today. We are reminded how precious each of them are and how extraordinary it is to experience the story firsthand.
Thank you for your interest and support in continuing this significant American legacy.
